Chapter 13 From Today, Be an Artist
"So, I'm going to be in a competition right now, and a reality show?"
Han Jue asked while chewing a piece of meat carefully.
"Yes. Participating in the competition is the best way for us to gain attention. First, return to the public eye, and then use a reality show to redesign your...personality." Guan Yi sat in Han On the opposite side of Jue, when talking, he doesn't move his chopsticks very much.
After receiving Han Jue's text message, Guan Yi made an appointment at a restaurant not far from Han Jue's apartment in the center of the district. After being seated, Han Jue asked Guan Yi what he would need to do if he became an artist. Guan Yi already had an idea and gave a short-term plan.
Han Jue listened while eating, listening very carefully, and eating very seriously at the same time, because Han Jue noticed this restaurant early on, but he was reluctant to come. The decoration of the restaurant is quaint, like a restaurant that would appear in an ancient costume TV series. When the waiter came to greet him, he really came to report the name of the dish. It is said that cross talk actors often perform on stage in the lobby. If it weren't for the fact that what Guan Yi wanted to talk about was too important, Han Jue would really like to go downstairs to join in the fun.
Guan Yi's temperament is the same as that face, neither round nor smooth, and he just throws out statistics coldly. Based on Han Jue's career as an artist in the past six years, he analyzes how many opportunities Han Jue has missed, and how much Han Jue's previous manager has. What things are not working well, and where the company's strategy is not enough.
This straightforward style of speech also suits Han Jue's taste.
Han Jue calmly ate while thinking whether he was really going to devote himself to this cause.
When he was a young man of literature and art, he was interested in everything, and he also heard Bach talk about Kafka, and he hoped to show his talent and make a difference in the field of art. However, the reality is that he has tried his best to survive, and he can't remember how long he hasn't enjoyed his hobbies. He felt like that was what he was going to do all his life.
Now that he has come to this world, this world is almost a paradise for creators, and Han Jue can feel the urge to move in his body.
The blood of the previous life has been cooled countless times. Now facing the invitation of this world, he just wants to end up having a carnival together.
But the problem is, he has to get the tickets to enter the carnival first. As long as everything is connected with the circle, it represents a certain degree of closure and exclusion—the film and television circle is no exception. Unless you take the college route, or have connections and paths in the circle, you have to take a lot of detours.
When Han Jue was thinking, Guan Yi was observing Han Jue.
Before coming, Guan Yi had imagined the situation after the meeting.
When Guan Yiming pointed out Han Jue's character flaws, he thought that Han Jue would quibble and become angry, but Han Jue didn't. Almost thought that Han Jue was speaking ironically in a yin and yang manner. When he later emphasized that Han Jue was going to start from scratch, he thought Han Jue would dismiss it, or leave the meeting angrily, but Han Jue still just nodded and said calmly, where is starting from scratch, it should be starting from the negative. Let's get started.
Guan Yi was surprised, he had the attitude of a prodigal son turning around and rehabilitating himself. But Guan Yi was not completely relieved of Han Jue. More will need to be confirmed at a later date.
The two were silent for a long time, Guan Yi watched Han Jue carefully remove the last grain of rice in the bowl to his mouth with chopsticks, and asked, "Do you want another bowl?"
"Okay." Han Jue unceremoniously ordered another bowl. However, the strange thing is that one minute ago, I still felt that my stomach was only 70% full, and I could still eat another bowl if I worked hard. As a result, he picked up the bowl and didn't take a few bites, his appetite gradually subsided, and the fat and thin pork belly in his mouth instantly made him feel sick. Han Jue ate another piece unwillingly, and almost vomited it out this time. It seems that the stomach of this body is screening food instinctively, forbidding to be full or greasy.
Han Jue put down his chopsticks speechlessly.
"Not enough food?" Guan Yi was a little puzzled.
"No. I'm full."
Guan Yi looked solemnly at the rice that had only moved in front of Han Jue, and kept guessing what it meant. Is it pure unthrifty, or is it something else? Even though he was full, he still ordered a bowl... Could it be that he wanted to express implicitly—even if he has enough things (resources), even if the rest is wasted, he still has to get it first Say it in front of him?
It's really greedy and doesn't know what is good or bad...
Guan Yi clicked his tongue in his heart, thinking of Han Jue's reputation in the company and the industry. When Han Jue was very popular, there were a lot of invitations, and Han Jue always agreed a lot regardless of the arrangement of his agent, and in the end he often released a large number of pigeons, which made the team and partners very helpless. That kind of unreasonable style is indeed similar to "Even if I can't eat other things, I still want them".
Guan Yi secretly decided that if today's negotiation comes to fruition and cooperates with Han Jue, in order not to repeat the same mistakes, he must hide some information from Han Jue when necessary.
"Let's put it away when you're full." Guan Yi picked up the chopsticks and picked up the slightly cold dish and started to eat it.
"First of all, I don't want to go to variety shows that torture people, such as passing goldfish through the mouth, and a person suddenly coming down from the ceiling while taking a shower... Such a prank, I will not participate in such a variety show." Han Jue stared at Guan. Yi said.
Guan Yi nodded. His goal of bringing Han Jue was not to cultivate a comedian, of course it would not be arranged that way. Although Han Jue has some talent for talk shows, he already knows it.
"You said a game was arranged for me? What game?" Han Jue asked while drinking water.
"Let me tell you first, some top-level production competitions, such as "Singer" are not suitable for entry, and "The Voice" is not suitable for artists who have debuted before." Guan Yi stared closely at Han Jue's eyes.
""Singer"? "The Voice"?" Han Jue's eyes widened.
Seeing Han Jue's strong reaction, Guan Yi suddenly became alert.
"How many seasons of "Singer" has it been?" Han Jue looked very interested.
"The tenth season." Guan Yi miscalculated. He thought that Han Jue was still going to those shows beyond his control.
"Tut tsk tsk." Han Jue touched his chin and clicked his tongue, shaking his head slightly, his eyes were quite excited.
"So," Guan Yi continued the topic just now, "I have selected for you, there are a few variety show competitions that have attracted a lot of attention recently, and there are a few that can bring you into it."
Han Jue listened carefully.
"'Idol Star Games', 'The King of Comedy', and 'The Rap of China'."
Three programs correspond to three kinds of competitions.
"Idol Star Games" is a sports competition. The participants are all idol artists. There are various events, from swimming to running. There are preliminaries and finals. It is well-organized and belongs to the grand event of the idol world.
"The King of Comedy" is better than comedy sketches, and there are no restrictions on the types of contestants, whether it is drama, musical, cross talk, talk show or poetry recitation, as long as it makes people find it funny, you can participate.
As for "The Rap of China", it is better than rap.
""The Rap of China"? More than 200,000 people signed up?" Han Jue couldn't help being surprised when Guan Yi said that there were more than 200,000 people who signed up this year.
Guan Yi said: "This does not count the foreign competition areas."
Han Jue thought about it, but he was not surprised. Before he came to this world in his previous life, rap had become the mainstream music form almost all over the world. Even in China, a considerable number of pop singers have tried to add rap to their works one after another.
In this world, it is not difficult to understand that rap is becoming popular again.
The art of an era is the voice of the people of an era. Painting, music, and poetry are all very good, but the threshold is also high, and ordinary people can't easily express them well. They belong to the voices of "intellectuals". But rap is different, it's the voice of "the people down there". Rap lowers the threshold for individual expression, allowing the bottom class or ordinary people to have a way to express themselves. All you need is a rhythm, a piece of paper, and a pen to get started.
"Why, are you interested?" Guan Yi asked.
Han Jue blinked.
Among the three variety shows mentioned above, "Idol Star Games" seems to be the most suitable for him, because Yuanzhen's physical fitness is really good. But Han Jue was insulated from sports in his previous life and would not know anything. If he participated in the "Sports Meeting", he could only run and run. But what's the point of running alone!
"The King of Comedy" seems to be good, and it seems to be a good idea to get a [Sad Twist] team to participate, but the biggest problem is that Han Jue can't act by himself, and his acting skills are even more embarrassing than his predecessor Han Shaming.
The rest of "There is Rap Hop"...
Han Jue had listened to some rap songs in his previous life, but he just listened to them. He was not very experienced. When watching Korean rap competitions with his girlfriend, he often couldn't tell which side was stronger. But even so...
"I choose "You Rip Hop"," Han Jue said.
Why choose this?
Because she likes it.
Although [rap] and [girlfriend] have only a slight connection, it is enough for Han Jue, who is attached to his lover, to choose among the three options.
"Choose this." Guan Yi fell into deep thought. Although he mentioned three options, he originally thought that "The King of Comedy" was the most likely to be selected. As far as he knows, Han Jue has never shown his rap skills. Although there are rumors in the circle, pop singers with a good sense of music, rhythm, and language will not be bad even if they sing rap. But Guan Yi just didn't feel at ease with Han Jue.
"Are you sure? I can only help you run to the on-site audition and skip the video audition. What happens after that depends on your own strength." Guan Yi confirmed to Han Jue.
Of course Han Jue wasn't sure, but he didn't have any ambitions about the ranking, he just wanted to learn something in the past, and it was for fun.
"I have the basics, and I can learn quickly." Han Jue has a good attitude, as if rapping is just for cultivating hobbies.
It's really unreliable. Guan Yi sighed. He didn't want to talk about cooperation one minute and have a fight the next minute. Do it like this, it's exactly the same as before.
"When the audition fails, we will have time to participate in "The King of Comedy." Han Jue also knows that his choice is not the best, but it is not convenient for him to explain the real reason, so he has to make another guarantee. He just obediently went to make a joke.
Guan Yi's face looked better now. "Would you like to find a teacher for you?"
Han Jue nodded repeatedly.
The two took a step back from each other, and the first step of cooperation was barely taken.
After dinner, we left in front of the restaurant, and Han Jue walked home alone.
I started to listen to the rap in this world seriously, and also summarized and analyzed the differences from my previous life.
Rap in this world still comes from the United States, but it has taken root and grown in China. Han Jue has heard rap in Chinese, Cantonese, and English.
Because it is a brand new rap circle, the development of style is not the same as in the previous life.
He couldn't hear too much tonight, so Han Jue dug out the video of the game.
I found that in the previous seasons of "The Rap of China", it didn't look like Chinese language was required, and the contestants could come from all over the world.
Demonstrate cultural tolerance and self-confidence.
Han Jue was a little relieved. In his previous life, he listened to a lot of foreign rap music. The quality of domestic rap music is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the creation is not free enough.
Freedom here does not refer to swearing at will, but not being allowed to speak the truth. Before Han Jue crossed, a rap group in Thailand released a rap song that spoke out for the people and criticized the authorities. This song became popular on YouTube and had a great influence. They ended up influencing policy in Thailand with a rap song. Han Jue was very emotional after seeing it at the time, and felt that this was the correct way to open rap. It's not a low-quality product that has no core and depth, but only superficial worship of money and swearing.
Huaxia here now has that kind of relaxed environment.
This is why Han Jue is interested.
Han Jue watched for most of the night, stopped in time at 11 o'clock, and did not finish chasing once. He knew that such a thing could not be rushed.
After taking a shower, I lay on the bed and read a book. Compared with rap, understanding the world is more important, lest some of the words I said seem to be inexplicable here, which is too silly.
Before Han Jue talked about the talk show in "Tucao Daxiu", he didn't think clearly. He said some things that people in the previous life knew that people in this life might not know. I was slapped in the face by myself.
After reading the book for half an hour, at around 11:30, I started to feel sleepy. Staying up late became a habit in the previous life, so let's keep the routine in this life, because you can't play well without a body.
Going to bed early and getting up early is like living another life, which is very ritualistic.
It's just that when Han Jue fumbled around, he still couldn't touch anything.
——
On the night when Han Jue was sleeping, the official Weibo of "Tucao Daxiu" released a video, which was a preview of the show three days later.
As everyone expected, Han Jue is a well-deserved target in the trailer, which mixed clips of various guests complaining about Han Jue, and frequently shot Han Jue. Han Jueming is calm and calm, or expressionless or smiling, but the post-subtitles on the side say [Can't bear it] [Haha] [Huh] and so on, and also made special effects of rage, which makes Han Jue's Calmness is bluffing, as if it will explode in the next second.
The audience and guests in the video, as well as the netizens outside the video, all laughed. Some netizens are ready to leave comments below the video to praise the guest for hurting Han Jue.
However, when the atmosphere was very happy for a while, the next second, the host came out and said: [Let us invite the fifth four great kings——Han Jue! 】
The dubbing suddenly changed and turned into very tense music.
Han Jue stood up and walked down from his position in slow motion, just like a big devil coming out of his lair to work and dispatch the warriors.
Netizens began to sense that something was wrong.
After Han Jue stood on the stage, he kept his head down, and the background music stopped at this moment. Netizens could feel the sudden downturn of the scene through the screen.
In the camera, the audience looked around in a daze, and whispered among each other.
Then,
Han Jue sighed and said: [Guess what? I'm not going to read from script. 】
A slight drumbeat began to sound, as if a war was brewing.
[I complained one by one. 】Han Jue looked at the guest seats and said.
The drums got louder and louder until they became very passionate.
[First of all, those two young men...]
Han Jue's words were left in suspense and were not cut out. The following shot showed the audience's surprised, bewildered and excited expressions.
[Next person...] The audience widened their eyes, exclaimed, and then applauded wildly.
In a distant view, all the guests looked gloomy.
【Oh, this lady...】
Some of the audience stood up, applauded and waved their arms.
[There is also this one...]
A regular guest of "Tucao Big Show" known to netizens, stood up in the guest seat, and the helpless smile on his face was not enough, and he even waved and applauded.
The director and screenwriter team appeared in the camera, and the screenwriter team put their hands around their mouths and screamed excitedly.
The unnatural faces of the guests appeared one by one, some blushed, some bared their teeth, their tongues protruded in an arc in the cavity, and some stood up directly.
The soundtrack is full of excitement.
Then the music stops,
【Why so serious? 】Han Jue glanced at the audience, then smiled.
black screen.
The video ends here. The broadcast date appeared on the screen, that is, three days later.
Netizens in front of the computer were stunned.
What's happening here?
Click on the comments and find that the comments are already boiling.
[Is this the effect of the show? ? Why does Han Jue make it look like a big devil? ! 】
[Are these shots real or devil clips? ? 】
[What the hell did Han Jue say to make our Xiaohan look like that! 】
【wipe! Super looking forward to it! 】
【I'm on the scene, really, it's not a gimmick, it's true. No one expected Han Jue to do this...】
...
It has been three years since Han Jue emptied his Weibo account and quit.
This is the first time other than Han Jue's negative news, it has been on the hot search list. Although the ranking is not high, the situation belonging to Han Jue has started to stir up again today.

(PS The author’s words: In addition, rap is an entry point for the protagonist to get involved in music. After all, the protagonist can’t sing or produce. The rap competition was withdrawn halfway, so friends who don’t like rap, please skip it , there are only ten chapters in total for writing rap, skipping the ones that won’t affect the plot!)
The author's very sincere words: Many readers will ask why they write rap. In fact, the truth is that when I started writing, I was a newcomer. I was so ignorant that I couldn't tell what was popular and what was not. Entertainment was written about those competitions. It happened that rap was a phenomenal hit variety show that year, and no one had written it. Right], I was quite happy at the time, thinking it was a good time. As a result, I wrote some, and readers advised me to stop writing rap. This made me feel very embarrassed who thought I had found a breakthrough. Later, I also followed the example of good people, and I wrote a total of ten chapters of rap and did not write any more. So I sincerely ask friends who don't like rap to skip those chapters, it won't affect it, and it's really better to watch later! ! It is not easy for a new writer to write a book, thank you~
